Power Distribution Schematics




The Power Distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and generator to the starter solenoid, fuse box, starter switch and light switch. The first component after a fusible link is also shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse box fuse and light switch is also shown.

The Power Distribution schematic refers to Dash Fuse Box and Lighting Switch Details schematics. By using these three (3) schematics, power distribution wiring can be followed from the battery and generator to the first component after a fusible link, fuse, and light switch. The ability to follow the power distribution wiring to the first component in each circuit is extremely helpful in locating short circuits which cause fusible links and fuses to open.

The fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times," since battery voltage is always applied to them.
